Reviews
In this book, Keynes's essay (which says as much about his outsider-insider position in the Bloomsbury Group as anything else) serves as the ink blot in a Rorschach test for leading contemporary economists. Their interpretations of it reveal some of their underlying attitudes to economy and society, just as he revealed his when he wrote it.--John Toye, Economic History Review--

The differences in the contributors' research backgrounds and disposition toward Keynesian ideas add richness to the analysis as they bring their own perspectives to bear on Keynes' work and most readers will likely agree that the book could not be more timely.

--Linda K. Carter, EH.Net--
